Sallie started her professional life as a teacher down south eventually coming to Beloit. Upon her retirement she was asked to be a board member at The Angel Museum. After becoming a board member she was asked to become an admissions person. She had to think about that and after careful consideration she accepted. Since then Sallie has spent many days at the museum in admissions and is a very knowledgeable docent. She taught me the little things that get lost when a new admissions person learns about the angels. I have personally seen how she connects with the volunteers and visitors to the museum. Each person leaves with a little more knowledge about the angels. Sallie also helps with planning the dinner for hometown heroes. She remains a reliable and committed volunteer.
